Shortly after General Grants death

the following conversation with his
grandmother:
''Granma, did General Grant go to

"Why, yes, DEAR" said grandma.
''But, grandma, how could he when

They only put the tired. sick part of

An Interest1nR Fight.

LAWRENCE, Mass Jan. 15.-One Of tn g
greatest prize fights that ever took place
in this country was fought here last night
in the presence of select few Ths
contestants were Jack McAulIf1e Of Brook

within the limit OF 1873 pounds. Twenty
eight rounds were fought, occupying one
hour and ftty-twO minutes. The fight
was finished by Gilmour falling senseless
in the ring under the sledge- hammer
blows Of McAulIffe. There was consid-
cradle heavy fighting up TO the sixth
round, McAuiiffe evidently coming out
the better man. From the sixth to the
twenty fifth round the fortunes of the men
varied and McAuliffe's confidence visIbly
increased.
In the twenty nth round McCauliffe
started to do GIlmour up. but the latter,
whose face was pulled up like foot ball,

diminishing they increase, and what makes
us have more faith in its future mission Is
that our customers come back and praise
its good work In the highest terms. Said
one druggistto the writer: My confidence
